Davey Crocket?

This hat has been in the family

for a long spell.

At least 3 boys have

proudly displayed this

well put together remains

of a coon.

It originally came from

the land of Dixie.

Solomon has an unusual sense of style.

I have learned to just let some things go.

This is what he looked like today

 throughout our trip to Holland

including his Lego Engineering class

at Hope College.

If you could see his shoe selection,

the outfit would come together in your mind.

Indian mocassins.

Ankle height, zip up the back,

with tassels.

He claims the comfort level

is unsurpassed.

(This is Solomon's friend Solomon. Double the wisdom.)

 The atmosphere in the Chemistry lab

is non judgemental and invites

each child to be creative;

with Lego's and well, clothes.

(The necklace balances out the athletic shirts and pants
don't you think?)

Home education offers freedom from rules of dress

that you might find at some institutions.

How cool to be in a class at a college,

at age 9,

wearing what you will

and not ravaged by the fear

of your peer.

The "other Solomon"

has a brother in the class

who approached Solomon with large eyes

and whispered

"Did you kill that beaver"?!
